When We Disappear
First they took the ABC away
And I didn't speak up when the numbers changed
Then they drained the colours that we drew
And when I turned my back they came for you
I walked away but then they offered more
Said I was the one that they'd been waiting for
But even as I signed upon the page
The letters that I wrote began to fade
Tell me
Will there be no witness
No ripple on the surface
When we disappear?
Are we
Obsolete and beaten?
Is history repeating
That ringing in your ears?
I saw the side that I'd been fighting for
I realised the uniform I wore
But there was no-one standing in between
And there was no-one left to speak for me
Tell me
Will there be no witness
No ripple on the surface
When we disappear?
Are we already
Obsolete and beaten?
Is history repeating
That ringing in your ears?
I'm a drop in the ocean
I'm an ear on the plain
Are we the ones we waited for?
We waited for a drop in the ocean
And an ear on the plain
Are we the ones we waited for?
Are we the ones we're waiting for?
And I didn't speak up when the numbers changed
Then they drained the colours that we drew
And when I turned my back they came for you
I walked away but then they offered more
Said I was the one that they'd been waiting for
But even as I signed upon the page
The letters that I wrote began to fade
Tell me
Will there be no witness
No ripple on the surface
When we disappear?
Are we
Obsolete and beaten?
Is history repeating
That ringing in your ears?
I saw the side that I'd been fighting for
I realised the uniform I wore
But there was no-one standing in between
And there was no-one left to speak for me
Tell me
Will there be no witness
No ripple on the surface
When we disappear?
Are we already
Obsolete and beaten?
Is history repeating
That ringing in your ears?
I'm a drop in the ocean
I'm an ear on the plain
Are we the ones we waited for?
We waited for a drop in the ocean
And an ear on the plain
Are we the ones we waited for?
Are we the ones we're waiting for?
